HD PVR Unit 9242: Have you tried putting in PC? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Hi There,

Have anyone one of you tried to open up the 9242 to take the hard drive out (to plug it into your computer)? If you have done it, have you had success in getting your recording off of the hard drive and, once the hard drive is put back into it's original place, has the unit gone back to working like nothing happened?

Thanks!

Some people have had success moving the encrypted files around on their External Hard Disk (EHD), so doing the same on the internal disk might be possible.

Please see the various postings in the PVR forum on this topic. Covered in the PVR Rip thread and various others such as the 9200/9242 owners thread.

Thanks.
